# ===== NEVER PUBLISH — private strategy, paid product, business/internal =====
# Belt-and-braces guard: even if one of these is accidentally copied into this
# public checkout, git will not track it. Primary protection is that these live
# only in the private repo (~/devtools/mcpgawk, which has NO remote).
